Daniel Pelka...Baby 'P'... how many More?

It is time to ask questions!  We have had so many excuses and apologies but these poor kids still keep dying in horrific circumstances.  How many more before kids will die before they tighten up the system so that no kid can steal food from other kids and forage into waste bins to survive?

Are these teachers blind or just incompetent? Is it that they accept  a slavish dogma of union rules so that they do not want to confront the parents or get involved with the law?  What could prevent a teacher from saving the life of one of their pupils?  There are news pictures of this kid's teacher click-clacking into court surrounded by her briefs.  Am I being unfair?

Surely someone should have picked this brutal treatment up before the ultimate death of this poor child?  I am really angry because I love my granddaughters but at one point I was prevented from recording a school performance because I might have been a pervert!!  How did they think that would make me feel? Did they care?  No they are just following orders but when push comes to shove common sense disappears and a little boy is tortured before he is murdered.  I weep for him but then I would like to see his parents strung up from the nearest lamp post.

Can anyone with compassion argue against this ultimate punishment?  Animals deserve to die like animals and then we should all have a day off to celebrate!!

Murder and the Public!

I read a story yesterday which summed up the judicial system hoist on us by the Political Class in this country.  Way back in 2011 a pensioner was bludgeoned to death in his own home by two 'travellers'.  Despite the nature of this horrendous murder the police were met by a 'wall of silence' from the 'travelling community'.  Those of us who call a spade a shovel would not expect anything else from this over protected minority group.

The police described them as 'career criminals' but they are only that because our judicial system allows them carte blanche to become 'career criminals', but here is the real rub. One of the offenders had been jailed for five years for a similar attack on a 73 year old woman during a burglary at her home in February last year!!  He had battered the woman to death with her own walking stick!

So let me get this right! This 'traveller' commits wanton murder on a pensioner and only gets five years.  He is after all a 'career criminal' so how many offences has he actually committed? Since when have sentences for murder be reduced to five years and then since when is he allowed out onto the streets within a year?

I want to know who is making these decisions?  Who is placing the elderly in jeopardy by allowing murdering travellers back onto the streets only weeks after the most horrendous of crimes. 

At the moment they are only 26 and 21 years old so after committing two murders against defenceless pensioners they have received sentences of 24 and 22 years respectively.  Given time off for 'good behaviour' they will be out on the streets just in time to bump off more pensioners.  What is going on and when will we get a government that will react to the fears of the public?

Biggest Jail Shake up in 60 years!

Justice Secretary, Chris Grayling, is announcing the biggest shake up in jails for 60 years in an effort to curb a lifestyle that most honest working families could not begin to afford! So what will this entail?

Well amazingly he will stop prisoners watching SKY Sports in televisions in their own cells! What!? When was that nonsense ever introduced into prison life? He may go even further and not even allow televisions in cells!

Then he may not allow them to wear their own clothes and may even introduce 'drab, grey, prison overalls'.  I can just see the 'prison reformers', probably paid for by the European Union', gnashing their teeth at this monstrous outrage.  It is after all a massive breech of 'Human Rights' to deprive a prisoner of his/her own clothes even though most of them have committed a plethora of crimes to even qualify for prison.

However, even worse is to follow. The right to use 'pocket money' (they get pocket money?) to buy toiletries and sweets could be curbed. I just wonder how much 'pocket money' they actually get and where can they buy their toiletries and sweets?  We pay for these luxuries everyone!

Now the next one is hilarious! Gay couples may not be able to share the same cell and may (wait for it) be even moved to separate prisons! It leaves me with the image of a guy lying back on his bed watching Manchester United, in his own clothes, chewing a Mars Bar, smelling sweetly and stroking the head of his lover.

Finally Mr Grayling proposes to disqualify any prisoner from early release if he behaves badly.  Well now that is pretty revolutionary!  So of course I can see why these decisions could be challenged by special interest groups. What he has actually done however, is to highlight why we have so much crime in our society. He has highlighted that under the Labour party our prisons became luxury holiday camps and the Coalition has so far done nothing about it.

The cost to the hard pressed public must be mountainous in an era where austerity is a byword.  There is not one reason why the prison population would want to be returned to society and every reason to believe why they cannot cope once they leave their swish cells, lose their pocket money and possibly their love life! Mr Grayling will have to go much, much further before he will be applauded by me even though he is making a much needed start.

He may even begin to suggest that drugs are banned and that the staff begin to guard the prisoners! Someone recently suggested that a large number of honest, hard-up, pensioners should exchange places with the prison population so that they could achieve a life-style which in modern society is not available to them. Until Mr Grayling badgers the PM and the EU to reverse this trend then the criminal will not have no reason to fear prison life.  

Why Can't We Change the System?

I was appalled listening to the Chief Constable of Greater Manchester explaining that bail conditions were very strict and could not be altered. Why not? He seemed more concerned about protecting the idiotic system than he was about the deaths of his officers. He calls it the 'normal course of police work'. If I was in his shoes I would be hopping mad that this system almost insists that dangerous criminals are released back onto the streets even though all the evidence suggests that it is madness.

There is much hand wringing but nobody in authority seems capable of reversing the softly, softly approach that has made our society unprotected from villainy. It must change! Every time another law officer is killed the perpetrators are known to the law. Most of them had already been identified as dangerous and yet time after time they are allowed to wander amongst us unnoticed. 

We must fight back! We must toughen up the system. At the moment our police on the streets are so vulnerable. They have little support from the legal system and at this very moment I would bet that Dale Cregan is sat somewhere smugly accompanied by a well briefed lawyer being treated with civil respect.

I know that the line police officers are sick of catching thieves and then seeing the courts releasing them back into the community. The people at fault are the senior officers who are quite happy to sit back quietly accepting a system which place the rank and file at risk but do not threaten their pensions.

I now hear that if they want to continue to question Dale Cregan then they must have permission from a judge to extend the time limit up to 96 hours. If they cannot nail him inside that time then he is released! Don't tell me that Cregan's lawyer does not know that!
Who on earth thought this up and why are the senior officer's not protesting? It is ludicrous!

What will it take to introduce a legal system which is fair and not one skewed towards the criminal? Why can we not find one senior police officer to want to protect those in danger? Are the politicians really happy with our officers being killed in the line of duty? What has happened to common sense?

Why Are We Surprised?

Why are we surprised that two, young, female police officers have been slaughtered by a maniac in the outskirts of Manchester? Why are all our leading, modernising, politicians now wringing their hands and protesting about a barbarity that they have caused. They are just as much to blame for the deaths of these two women as the perpetrator himself.

For the past 50 years the establishment has weakened the justice system to the point where there is no justice for victims in Britain.  Everything has been geared towards 'understanding' the criminal and 'rehabilitating' the criminal.

To hell with the victim, to hell with the general public, to hell with polite society let's just keep rewarding disgraceful behaviour until we get to the point that grenades are thrown at female officers in broad daylight in Britain! 

Let us just reappraise the situation! In most instances in this country the police respond to crime. They have long since been dissuaded from preventing it. They no longer have a connection with the public when they are on duty.

When they do catch a criminal that person enters a system which at every turn fails to recognise any crime he/she may have committed. Criminals in Britain must commit many many crimes before they are incarcerated. When they eventually receive a jail sentence it is  invariable slashed as part of a rehabilitation programme. Most are out on the street, unknown to the public, long before they have completed half their sentence.

We have seen some shocking examples of weak judges in this country. They appear to look for any reason to excuse the criminal and completely ignore the victim.  Criminals routinely walk out of court laughing at the law.

Despite this our prisons are full.  Many are full of people who should not even be in our country. There is a dangerous reluctance to deport foreign criminals in case we contravene their 'Human Rights' which has been used by every lawyer in the country! We can find any excuse to deport a patriot, even those who have served with the colours, but foreign criminals often escape scot free.

Then we have our prisons. Reportedly they are riddled with drugs which inmates can obtain freely while they are allowed unbridled use of luxury items. I often wonder just what the prison officers are doing? There are many reports which maintain that the inmates are running the prisons. Whatever else it appears that prison is not the deterrent it should be. Some prisoners probably live better on the inside than they do on the outside which cannot be right.

So there is nothing to deter a would be wrongdoer from committing a crime. No regular police presence, weak sentencing and soft prisons have combined to produce a criminal fraternity who care not a jot for the law. If the killer of the two police officers today knew that he was going to face a length of rope or a long spell on a mosquito infested Scottish island I don't think he would have lured them towards his guns and grenades.  He did it because frankly he just didn't care!

UPDATE:  Now we discover that the likely killer was already ON BAIL for MURDER! When will these people learn?

How do we Reverse the War on Youth?

For almost five years now I have been expressing my thoughts on modern British society. I have commented on the endemic corruption which has invaded Britain. It is everywhere and in the past thirty years none of our governments has ever tried to reverse it. Ever since we entered the Common Market which was engineered by a despicable Prime Minister, Edward Heath, our national sovereignty has been usurped.

Since Heath we have only had one Prime Minister truly batting for Britain and we all know that Margaret Thatcher was deposed by the europhiles in her party. Since then the traditional Conservative Party has been in the hands of well, frankly, communists. The so called centre left has invaded The European Union but they are not centre left they are far to the left. 

The corruption has spread to all our traditional national services; those services which the tax payer relies upon to protect their interests. Look at the police, the fire brigade, the civil service and more importantly the legal system. They are all under the influence of the PC brigade. Their raison d'etre has been undermined by a unknown influence which cannot be identified. It is a hidden presence buried into the background of our traditional culture. Everything that has been the bedrock of our society has been wrecked by this hidden presence which continues to invade us all.

So where are all heading? We have a largely wealthy older generation who all of their lives have paid into the national pot and are now receiving pensions which the younger generation can only dream about. These old people are living the life of Riley because they have paid for it.

The youth of this country have been let down by a ridiculous education system and now they are being invaded by an army of educated foreigners who actually speak better English than they do. Many of them have manners and recognise responsibility and so these incomers jump into every decent job that appears on the market. They know what is required and nobody has told our kids how to conduct an interview.

The result will be a burning resentment which exploded in the riots of last year. Thousands of dysfunctional young people descended onto our unprotected streets and destroyed a variety of businesses. Many of them have since been jailed but will soon be back onto the streets armed with more knowledge gained from their time in prison.

One day someone will band them together and convince them that might is right. Our police will never cope, our army has been neutered, our legal system fails to punish the evil and our prisons achieve nothing so what will prevent an army of young people taking what they want. It can only be a matter of time.

When will the time comes that those of us who have bought our houses, raised families and contributed to society lose everything to feral gangs.  

The young have no conventional future because it is being taken from them. There will come a time when they will have no alternative but to take what does not belong to them in order to survive. I know that this is a grim scenario but what else can the youngsters do? Even those gaining degrees begin their working life mired in debt.

Many are ignorant of conventional decency. they have been corrupted by a lack of natural justice. Their world has no boundaries and no direction. If we continue along these lines one day a gang will appear on my street and occupy my house and I will have no redress. We already have little police presence and no army so when someone organises the immigrant underclass then beware of the consequences. Unless we challenge the people supporting this war on the youth of today we have a very uncertain future!

The Leveson Enquiry

Slowly, almost ponderously, this Enquiry is uncovering the truth. The many and varied links that all our politicians had to News International. The squalid deference that all our leading politicians paid to the Murdoch Empire and now the cover up. The frantic attempts to deceive the public that they did not set up a bomb proof avenue for News International to gobble up BSkyB.

Anybody who has read my scribbles will not be surprised that I am delighted that the fan is whirring and the sticky stuff is randomly being distributed around the corridors of power. It is obvious to anyone vaguely interested that David Cameron has been closely linked to the Murdoch Empire and I believe it will do for him.

He is a smooth operator. Unfortunately if his personal credibility is destroyed and he is soon to face the beak at the Leveson Enquiry then what next for politics in this country? Will it seriously be back to the Miliband geek and the 'muttering idiot'? If so then get ready for utter devastation.

Having said that what has changed under this EU supporting Coalition government? They are borrowing more per annum than the Brown government did so that they can pay their dues to the EU. Immigration still flows unabated and accordingly the crime rate rises even though a criminal is allowed to commit up to 15 crimes before he is allocated a bed in one of our luxury prisons.

The people who have allowed this to happen are tainted at every level. They have already proven that they are corruptible so it is no surprise to discover that many of our leading politicians actively supported News International in their business enterprises. In their world money is 'God' and morals are regarded as weakness. Integrity has no place in modern British politics.

I don't think we have had one leading politician against 'modernisation' (changing the face of the nation) since Margaret Thatcher was deposed by her traiterous colleagues. It would now appear that she was almost the last of the conviction politicians prepared to put country first!

Votes for Prisoners?

The European Courts of Human Rights (ECHR) has decided to impose an edict on Westmonster that prisoners in the UK should be allowed to vote in future elections. Westmonster has already voted on this issue and overwhelmingly rejected it. We will soon discover that our own MPs are actually irrevelant and actually have no power whatsoever as most of our laws emanate from Brussels.

We must remember that the ECHR is actually a collection of unelected nobodies from a variety of small countries who normally would have no influence on the British way of life. I also suspect that most of the prison population probably have little interest in voting so why the conflict?

It is just another opportunity to show the British people that they no longer have any choice in how they live. Every decision on every issue seems to be against public opinion. It is of course all done with the connivance of the vast majority of our MPs particularly those on the front benches and almost every public official in a senior position. There used to be an old fashioned word for most of them but now using the modern vernacular there are quite a few words to describe them.

The whole point of a prison sentence is to withdraw privileges from those who have committed crimes against society. Wearily most of these privileges have gradually been returned so that life 'inside' is for most of the inmates far more comfortable than they can expect outside of the system.

Still what is the actual problem? Most of us are now well aware that elections are irrelevant. There is no difference between the three main parties. They all refuse to stop wasting taxpayers' money and the largest waste is our daily contribution to Brussels and the ECHR. We may as well give prisoner's the vote because frankly we are in such a mess it simply doesn't matter!

Accountability within the Justice System

We are regularly informed by the mainstream media that career criminals who are apprehended by the police are routinely granted bail and then released to continue their criminal practices. There seems to be no rhyme or reason behind granting bail to violent criminals but when things go wrong and members of the public are assaulted or killed as a result nobody is accountable.

Recently the police arrested a career criminal who had been sentenced to 8 years in 2004 for stabbing a householder during a burglary. He had been arrested, wait for it, for a sexual offence and assault but the had also been charged with theft, trespass and possession of cannabis! How on earth does someone decide that this person is safe to be on the streets? Clearly he is a danger to the public and of course he was because now he is being hunted suspected of committing two murders.

So who made the decision? What were his/her reasons? Will he/she ever again be allowed to grant bail to anyone after such cataclysmic errors of judgement? The answer is that whoever made the decision cannot be held accountable. We don't know who they are and very likely they are making the same decisions today.

Until someone brings back justice to the justice system then this country will continue on the downward spiral into an abyss. The criminal club which today includes the perpetrator, the police and the legal profession (but rarely the victims) appears to flourish across the land with criminals being given every benefit of the doubt imaginable. Will anyone challenge it? Don't hold your breath!

Is UKIP on the Move?

I have long since lost faith in the accuracy of the prediction polls. I have never been asked my opinion on any election and a random straw poll of my friends and relatives confirms that nobody else has been canvassed for their opinion prior to an election.  So the news that UKIP has stolen ONLY 10% of the people who voted Conservative at the election comes as a surprise.


All over the blogosphere I see people defecting from the Conservative party. The Tory grass roots have lost faith in David Cameron and his europhile, socialist supporting Cabinet. I therefore suspect that the defections are considerably higher than being reported. The people are waking up! They thought that they were getting rid of Gordon Brown and his loony left and have discovered that they have just elected a different version. NONE of the promises of the Tory election manifesto have been followed up.


I admit that the British electorate are complacent and to be honest, not well educated, but most of them still have inherent decency. It is almost impossible to destroy centuries of tradition by indecent government. The people still know that rule from the European Union is indecent. They recognise as each day passes that our society is under attack. There is never any good news. 


The students pay too much for their 'education' and cannot get jobs. British companies are being sold off. We cannot even harness the mass of water which falls on our country! We are famous world wide for our inclement weather and yet we now have a drought scenario. 


Our justice system has degenerated into a joke where those prisoners who have eventually deserved a prison sentence are treated better than our elderly who have paid their taxes all their lives and in many cases fought for the country.


Some hospitals are allowed to treat their patients with contempt. Medical care has never been better but compassion is at an all time low not only in the NHS but also in companies charged with caring for the elderly and infirm in their own homes. The profiteering from care for the elderly is a national scandal as each 'carer' is 'timed' and 'managed' until they no longer care or can care.


We must return to traditional British values. We can only do that if we vote for a body of people who campaign on traditional British values. We have tried the union funded and driven Labour party who had 13 years to ruin the country and probably succeeded. 


We then returned to the Tories who in the 1990's we could not get rid of soon enough and so far they have demonstrated that they are incapable of joined up government. They have actually abandoned every one of their core manifesto promises. Every promise that they made which gained them 'a share' of government have been abandoned.


The LibDems are worse! They are communists in disguise. They are much further to the left than the Oxford educated toffs who lead the Labour party because they are so committed to the European Union and they actually want Moscow to reappear in Brussels which of course it has.


I cannot forecast the future. I have no crystal ball but I have my hopes. George Galloway played a trump card because he had researched the Muslim passion. We need an English Messiah. Someone who can carry the public into the next election on a wave of national hysteria (where is Princess Diana when you need her?) but more than that we need the public to recognise that the major parties are actually poison for most of us!

They still don't get it!

'Geeky Toff'

One would think that after the hammering that the Labour Party got in Bradford West at the hands of George Galloway last week that at least one of them would understand what happened? Listening to Ed Miliband today it is clear that he still doesn't get the message. 


I strongly hope that, at long last, the British electorate have learned from the last election that we have been duped. Having almost been economically destroyed by 13 years of Labour, the nation once again, gave the Conservative Party an opportunity to make amends and they have blown it. They have reneged on so many election pledges that the bond has been broken. 


The public are sick of listening to geeky toffs like Ed Miliband thinking that we will still believe their baloney. Once again he stood up blamed everything on the other party and yet still did not present one concrete proposal. He has decreed that the Labour Party will now concentrate on Crime and anti social behaviour. They had 13 years to sort this out when they were in government and it got worse. 


He still fails to give any detail on how he would tackle it. Would he build more prisons? Would he toughen the prison regime? Would he encourage longer sentences? Would he appoint judges with one foot in the real world? Not one concrete proposal and he thinks that we have not heard it all before. He is insulting the electorate and he will pay a high price. I think he is dead man walking but the alternative is yet another 'geeky toff' with no concrete policies.


These upcoming local elections are important. We could if we are shrewd break the stranglehold that the main parties have on the town halls across the country. All we need to do is copy Bradford and vote for the minority parties or the independents. If we don't get the choice then we don't vote but if somebody is willing to stand for election against the Political Class then we should get behind them. 


This Political Class is so arrogant that they believe they will continue their deceit forever. They are still claiming unreasonable expenses, they still jolly on their fact finding missions in exotic resorts and they still award themselves long holidays. It must cease!

The Riots!

The riots in Croydon!

So our politicians have decided that they know what caused the riots? Well I have a few ideas of my own and you will not be surprised that they actually do not coincide with the opinions of the Political Class.


So let us recap! We import people from all over the world, by courtesy of the Home Office. People who have no knowledge of OUR culture and who have a lifestyle which is diametrically opposed to our own. We then call them 'British' and grant them maximum benefits but dump them in the poorest areas. Amazingly they become resentful because by and large they are unemployable and are condemned to a life on the lowest rung of the ladder.


They have one resort and that is criminality. So they commit crimes but then they realise that when they arrive in court they are excused. They are slapped on the wrist and they are also told that they have 'Human Rights' which allows their lawyers to get them off the charges.  Off you go boys and girls to rape and pillage because nothing will stop you! So amazingly they did! No police on the streets, no judges able to hand out meaningful sentences and for those who were caught a luxury jail to enjoy!


The Political Class have created this nonsense and they are ALL guilty. There is not one politician belonging to any major political party who is not complicit in this calumny. They are ALL guilty. The only political party with a foothold in the political system who cannot be accused of treachery is UKIP.


You are all being blinded by a media machine which is in full throttle so that you will believe that everything is normal. The Queen is still the monarch (She is not!). We still have three major Political Parties who have differences (they are all 'modernisers') and our legal system is still in accord with the principles of the Magna Charta! Yeah Right!


When the young people who will never read this blog eventually discover that their future is being destroyed by the politicians then they may stop grinning, worshipping Simon Cowell and believing that their whole lives are just about getting pissed and shagging anything in sight (I am sorry about the language but I am preaching to the uneducated) . You will sooner or later have to take to the streets just like the people of Libya or Syria if you want a fair deal. If you want a wife and a family and a pension like I had, then I am sorry but you will have to fight for it.  

Murder is becoming common place!

I fear that murder is becoming common place on our streets. Case after case is being announced on the news programmes and we are becoming immune to the shock of it all. In particular knife crime has become a daily event particularly in areas inhabited by those termed ethnic minorities.


We have always had drunken fights but today these fights are ended with a knife. The police continually hold knife 'amnesties' but they mean nothing because the people who carry knives do not have the same values that many of us born in this country were instilled with. Fair play and honour no longer exist as it has become survival of the most ruthless.


Clearly the absence of the police from the streets is having a huge effect and their conversion from protectors of the public to state 'Stasi' seems now complete. Weak sentencing and cushy prisons mean that the 'modernisers' have done their work well because there is absolutely no deterrent in the Justice system which would deter a serial criminal. The Human Rights Act and a benefit culture which encourages fraud disgusts so many of us but then up pops a moderniser to justify the break down of our society.


I think the clash of two shoplifting gangs of black lads who descended on a shoe shop during the Boxing Day sales and stabbed one of their own in an argument over a pair of trainers sums it all up! As usual the police arrived well after the event just in time to hold the crowd back.


It will only get worse!

It gets worse...!!

Judge Esmond Faulks

After my latest rant at the ineptitude of our Criminal Justice System which rewards violent criminals for their actions by 'sentencing' them to  rather short luxurious holidays in surroundings that most of us could never afford, I noticed this case in the mainstream media.

Of course none of us knows why the judge would postpone sentencing until the New Year, allowing this thug to spend Christmas at home, but the effect on the victim must have been devastating and this is my point! Does nobody in the Justice System think about the victim? Is it all about protecting the violent? My goodness she was paralysed and he continued to attack her!

The behaviour of this lout was so premeditated, so calculated and so callous that a life sentence should be the minimum. After all his victim has now got a life sentence and according to the report it could have been anyone unlucky enough to be passing by so why the delay?Apparently Judge Esmond Faulks adjourned the case to study pre-sentence reports! How long will that take?

It is not the first time that Judge Faulks has hit the headlines so perhaps he will this time do the decent thing. I will not hold my breath because most of them love the headline but consistently refuse to challenge the system which allows thugs to paralyse women and then spend Christmas at home!

How bad do things have to get?

On Thursday I posted my thoughts on the Criminal Justice System that poses as law and order in this country. I was particularly scathing on sentencing and prison conditions because it is my contention that criminals have NO fear of justice in this country. We tolerate the most horrendous crimes and watch helplessly as the perpetrators are given slaps on the wrist and then released very quickly to commit repeat offences against the public.

So when I read that a 79 year old lady has been murdered trying to defend a handbag containing her husbands ashes then I really have to ask the question...how bad will things have to get before someone in Westmonster admits that we must change the system? How bad must it get before someone stands up at PM's Question Time and demands justice for victims? How bad must it get before we convert our publically sponsored holiday camps into proper prisons with harsh conditions?

If we ever catch the person who mugged this old lady why can't he/she be publically flogged or even (better still) executed. When will we insist that the punishment fits the crime? Why do we tolerate uncivilised behaviour and insist that the public abide by civilised actions? It is time for a return to medieval punishment because it would herald a return to civilised behaviour!

There is a sizeable minority in our society who choose criminality above honesty. They choose that path because they have nothing to fear. Their is, at the moment, no deterrent which would persuade them that criminality is actually not worth it.

We are rapidly descending into the abyss. Crimes are bordering on the unfathomable. Very soon some of us will not be able to imagine the type of crime unfolding. It must stop! Somebody in government...anybody of any party...must realise that the system we use, the people who administer this system..must change their direction. We have to announce a dramatic attempt to introduce fear into the criminal fraternity.

I would suggest that the government commissions a mozzy ridden, uninhabited Scottish island close to the Outer Hebrides and convert it into a prison! Drop food in on a weekly basis! Let them fight for it! Some might die but I reckon nobody will want to go back. The very mention of a sentence on this island would very soon strike terror in the heart of every criminal. Sentences could be short (3 months should be enough), it would be very cheap to administer and should only be used for the nastiest of crimes.

You may dismiss this idea but then I challenge you to instigate anything else that will instantly stop crimes where old ladies are killed trying to defend their husbands ashes!

The Criminal Justice System

Is it not about time that our politicians re-examined the Criminal Justice System? Why has the justice in this country swayed towards the criminal rather than the victim?

Every time that we see a major crime, or a repetitious crime or any kind of violence the punishment never fits the crime. So where do we start?

Well we all know that the police have disappeared from the streets at least where the defence of the public is concerned. No matter what the politicians say we do not have bobbies on the beat and consequently we are vulnerable to local thugs and in many area this means gangs of kids.

So what happens in the unlikely event that one of these criminals is actually brought before the court? The victim is ignored. Then all the excuses are brought into play by defence lawyers who frankly are well versed in the 'game' of getting their thug (client) a soft sentence.

Then when they have committed so very many similar crimes and it is apparent that the public would no longer tolerate this individual on the streets a sentence is concocted. They are 'sentenced' to a period of detention by a judge who knows very well that the 'system' will NEVER allow that sentence to be served in full. Time after time criminals are allowed back into our society (no matter the crime) to enjoy a freedom they do not deserve. It is appalling.

So what happens when the habitual criminal, the so very bad person, actually commits crimes against society and is locked up? They face a life of luxury which most of us could never afford. Free meals, free medical care, free dental care, free gyms, free libraries, free access to degree courses, free accommodation and free... well I don't know... but even drugs are readily available in our prisons.

Our prisons are luxury salons for the very worst of our criminals!

So let me pose a question to our politicians...when will you introduce a system which will punish a CRIMINAL!? How can we the public continue to support a system which rewards crime and subjects our children and grandchildren to a life behind closed doors?

David Cameron why do you allow this in a so called democracy? Why do you appoint a europhile like Ken Clarke as a Justice Minister? Ed Miliband... why do you not lead this as a leading question at PM's Question Time?  Are we, the public, not worth protecting?

Nick Clegg...oh never mind!

Until we redress the balance of the lack of criminal justice then we will never have a decent society. I don't know what drives our mainstream politicians to accept what blatantly is an injustice but they never seem to address the major problems that causes this injustice. They never address it! Why? Because it keeps us all in our place and the system is actually corrupt. In my opinion our courts are actually illegal...that is one of the very many reasons that they soft pedal on crime.

We the public accept everything because we are apathetic. We never get on the streets and demonstrate like the Greeks, Egyptians, Italians, Tunisians, Bahrenians, Syrians and we have a similar gripe. We should never need to take to the streets but increasingly our useless and corrupt justice system is letting us all down. They are politically driven and it is not enough.

The murder of Joanna Yeates

In the past couple of days we have had two excellent reasons to bring back capital punishment. I agree with the family of Joanna Yeates that the death penalty would be a fitting end for people like her murderer.

Similarly there is little doubt that the child killer Robert Black is a serial killer who has brought untold misery to the families of the victims.

This is another example the the Political Class ignoring the wishes of the public . Why should killers like Tabak and Black be allowed to live out their lives in conditions which many of the elderly would deem as luxury?

Every time I see that smug Justice Secretary, Ken Clarke, blocking attempts to reform the justice system I realise why our kids cannot play safely on our streets. Our kids will never enjoy their childhood while people like Clarke reward the killers and spit on the victims. David Cameron would do well to bin the evil old man.

The Liberals against the Realists!

All day I have watched the news media struggling with the aftermath of the rioting youth. It is clear that David Cameron has passed down an edict that we cannot have young people looting and anarchy on the streets. He is of course right. I have often criticised him but this time he is bang on the button. The bottom line is that people died, homes were burnt out and small (and large) businesses were devastated.


Personally I don't care if they stole a packet of crisps I would jail them and the reason is that we must set an example. We must have a line which cannot be crossed. The young people must understand that stealing is wrong. There are no degrees of wrongdoing. What is wrong is wrong.


The reason that the riots happened was clearly that the British justice system has lost the respect of the youth of the country. They plainly believe that the police are ineffective, that the courts are weak and if you are unlucky enough to be jailed then you will have a cushy life.


Once again the victims of crime in this country are being ignored by the Liberal political elite who are fighting desperately to defend their failed policies. Constantly the term 'knee jerk reaction' is being used to describe anyone hoping to reverse the trend of weak sentencing and cushy prisons. Some of the offenders are screaming blue murder that they ONLY did this... and ONLY did that but this is the result of years where we have excused criminality.


I don't altogether trust David Cameron but at least he has grasped the nettle and at long, long last we are seeing sentences which reflect the crime. My only worry is that once he has demonstrated his response to the riots things will gradually slink back to the norm. Already the senior police chiefs are proposing that policing gets back to normal (you know... no police on the streets) and sentencing will also follow this example.


The riots of last weekend highlighted what has happend to this country. They have rebounded around the world. Friends of mine in NewZealand and Australia have been shocked by the images which have been shown because they are shocking!!


London was burning just like the Blitz and the people who did it were in the main the young criminals who are probably all on benefits. The politicians and the police and the judges have all encouraged them and must hold their hands up! They are just as guilty as the newspaper industry in encouraging this anarchy. Everywhere the public are under attack from criminal gangs and the mainstream media doesn't report it. If you don't believe me get onto Youtube and watch the police being chased down the streets by a Muslim group after a 'Freedom for Palestine' rally !


We must never drop our guard. This must be the fightback against criminality... yeah I know I can also see the flying pigs in the sky!! Tomorrow we will be back to the norm ...until the next time!

Criminal Justice

I see the recriminations and the political blame game has erupted between the police and the politicians.  David Cameron has apparently at long last realised that some senior police officers are playing their own political game and unless he does something about it the electorate will blame him! Do you know we might just have some reason to thank the stupid, young criminals who caused the riots because they exposed the senior police officers to charges of incompetence.

They were so busy analysing their own positions and the reaction to their reaction that they forgot that people were losing businesses and criminals were running riot. Their failure to respond immediately meant that they failed everyone. They failed the public (as usual) but more importantly they failed their own front line officers many of whem knew that they should be responding.

Now David Cameron is proposing to talk to a top American cop who has already cleaned up the gang culture in his local town. Predictably howls of rage from the top police brass. The BBC have wheeled in uniform after uniform raging at the politicians for not backing them. Not a hint of contrician that so many people lost their homes and businesses.

The truth is that our whole criminal justice system has to be reformed if we are to return to being a civilized country again.  Initially we must return to a uniform presence on our streets . The young offenders must begin to fear the law again.

Then we must punish offenders. No more light sentences, short sentences, ASBO's, warnings or community orders. At the moment criminals and more importantly young offenders don't respect or fear the law and they laugh at magistrates who have so many constraints placed upon them.

Then we must revamp the prisons and put prison offices back in charge. Get rid of the luxury goods and keep the lawyers away from the prisoners.  The complete system must be reformed so that the public and the victim is considered before the 'rights' of the offender.

Until David Cameron imposes himself on the criminal justice system then he will fail. Tinkering at the edges will not be sufficient. Margaret Thatcher had to confront the unions but Mr Cameron has a much more difficult job because he almost has to tackle everyone in the criminal justice system.

He would however emerge a national hero and would probably be the Prime Minister for as long as he wanted if he brought sanity back to the nation. Finally beware of those who are echoing the words 'knee jerk'; they are only defending a system which brought about the recent riots.

Will anything change...don't bet on it!

Today David Cameron faced the press outside 10 Downing Street and gave one of his 'tough' speeches. It was the usual speech about not tolerating the looters, the courts had sat overnight, they will all get jail sentences...in fact a speech that would appeal to the electorate who want to hear words like that.


David Cameron is very good at letting the electorate hear the words that they want to hear. Remember his 'bonfire of quangos', his 'British Bill of Rights' or the capping of the salaries of town hall fatcats. The problem is that they are just words and nothing ever changes. He mentions water cannon but then adds 'at 24 hours notice'. What good is that?  Does he expect these riots to last 24 hours?


He then mentioned prison sentences but has he told the judges or the prison service? Ken Clarke keeps letting people out early because we don't have enough prison places for them. So how have we found more and why now? Has he overnight changed the sentencing criteria to accommodate the rioters?


The problem between the Met Police and the black community has long been publicized. On one side we have the gangs that are probably responsible for much of the armed crime, drug running and crass behaviour in London and on the other a police force that I wouldn't trust to walk my dog. There are bound to be tensions!


If we want to solve this problem we must meet it head on. Bring the parents into the court and demand to know why these kids were out of control. Then punish the parents. Make them responsible for the discipline of their children. If the children are prepared to see their parents go to prison because of their actions then we know where the fault lies.

Then we must sort out education in these London boroughs. Get some inspectors to drop in and witness what goes on in the classrooms. Root out the bad teachers and reward the good ones. Not so long ago I posted about Miss Birbalsingh who spoke up at the Conservative party conference and was sacked for her troubles. These ghetto kids need good role models. I read today that there are about 1000 vacant apprenticeships in the London area which nobody wants.


We must begin to include these people in this new society. It is not my society. I never asked for it but the politicians created it and now they must deal with it. If you ignore so many people they will one day react. Don't leave it to the black community leaders get people in who have influence. To start with there are a lot of natural linguists in these communities. Use them! Some of these kids can speak three or four languages and are unemployed.


Children must learn that being clever is nothing to be ashamed of. We must change the ethos of our education system and until we do we will continue to have the scenes we have recently witnessed in London.
